Collider ‘Tech for Noobs Series’: An Intro to Agile

The Collider Crew have designed a ‘Tech for Noobs’ lunchtime series to give you the down-low on different types of tech with a focus on practical!

This event series is part of TechWeek 2018.

What is Agile?

Agile emerged from the software industry in the early 2000’s and has stormed through the tech and business world since, to help teams and businesses embrace rapid change, cope with complexity and uncertainty in requirements, and deliver customer-focused value.

Today’s modern agile principles have been refined, tweaked and distilled into a body of proven practices that help teams respond quickly to change, experiment rapidly, and deliver value continuously.

This workshop will cover:

An overview of Agile values, principles and jargon

What are the benefits of using Agile

How Agile is different to other ways of working

How you can get started with agile practices in your team or business

Who should attend?

Anyone who wants to know what it actually means to work in an agile way. And anyone who has ever wondered what a ‘sprint’ or a ‘scrum’ is!

Why should you attend?

Get the low down on agile and how it works from an industry pro. And make some new friends.
